When the unannounced test was over and Ms. Herondas had gone missing: .......
　The female teacher who was to be in charge of our magic instead of Mr. Herondas had introduced herself.

It's nice to meet you ...... no, you guys are different. It's a test. Allow me to introduce myself again, my name is Rees' Finissey. I spent the year before last studying magic at the school. I'm pretty sure I know more about magic than anyone else, so feel free to ask me anything.
　Mr. Rees has long blonde hair and a slender body that looks good with a smile.
　She's the kind of teacher you can't help but cheer up when you see a student who's feeling down.
　I thought about this the other day when I was watching her.

"Now, let's go back to work as usual.
　At the teacher's command, everyone started to move towards the target.
　I'm going to practice my attributeless magic, away from the others.
　I'm just practicing some light hand-to-hand combat using helmsman and non-attribute magic.

''Master ......''

Hmm?　What's the matter?
　As usual, as I moved to practice at the edge of the training grounds, I heard Hermann's voice behind me.
　When I turned around, Hermann had stopped for some reason with a dark look on his face.

'Don't you think Master should practice using targets too?　Since you have the ability to use magic, you can practice your own magic without having to deal with me.
　Huh?　Is that what you've been worrying about?

'What?　I don't like it . It's more useful and fun to practice unattributed magic with Hermann.

'Yeah, right: ......'
　After I rejected him so bluntly, Hermann was at a loss for an answer, as if his reaction wasn't what he'd expected.
　All right, I'll give you some more details.

I wasn't practicing with Hermann because I felt sorry for him, you know?　The only person who can practice my unattributed magic is Hermann, so I'm just asking him to do it for me.

Master: "Master ......
　I guess he was convinced by my answer, but Hermann was getting teary-eyed.
　Come on, man, don't cry.

Come on, let's practice. Come on, let's go ahead and give it your all, like you always do.

'Yes!　I'll do my best, even more than usual!
　Herman wiped his eyes with his hand and flew at me with a powerful right fist.
　I dodged it cleanly.

　Herman, knowing he could avoid me, quickly threw his left fist and kicked, firing off a series of fists at full speed as he approached.

　When I couldn't avoid him anymore, he stepped back a little, and threw a kick.

'Oh!'　That was a close one.
　He spoke to Hermann, keeping his distance as he managed to dodge Hermann's kicks with a thrashing motion.

　Hermann, on the other hand, was on his knees, breathing on his knees, as if his breath was running out .
Ha, ha, ha, ha ...... but I still couldn't guess. Next time, I hope to be able to at least snatch it.

I can do that. If you had one more attack on me, I'm sure it would have hit you.
　If another kick or something else had come to that one, I probably wouldn't have been able to avoid it. .......

'I can't hold my breath. ...... I'm at my limit with that last kick.

So we need to practice more.
　It's just a matter of practice. But how do we avoid Hermann when he's faster?
　Maybe one day you'll have to use non-attribute magic at all costs: ......?

Yes, I'll do my best.

All right, I'm going to attack now. Let's go!
　How many times can we avoid it today?

Hey!　You guys!

To wit: ...... Yes?
　Just as I was about to put up a fight to set up Hermann, I was pinned down by a voice that called out to me.

　It was the teacher.
'What are you doing?'

''What do you mean ...... practice unattributed magic?''
　I've got a bit of fighting practice in there too, but .......

'Unattributed magic ...... unattributed magic!
　The doctor looked surprised.

'Yes, you do?'
　Why are you so surprised?

'You can use unattributed magic!　And, I see, ...... the two of you were from a family that could use unattributed demons.

'Family lineage?　The only people in my house who can use unattributed magic are me, my dad and my oldest brother who was knighted, and no one else in my family can use it, right?
　Does Hermann's brother also have the ability to do non-attribute magic?
　If that's the case, how come Hermann can use ...... Oh, right, I didn't think he had much magic power.

''It's just amazing that someone can use that much . The attribute of unattributed magic is the magic that everyone has, but they say no one can use it.
　I can't tell you how many times I've heard that story: .......



That's not true. Non-attribute magic is something anyone can use if they try hard enough.

'Really?　But your brother said he was using it by feel . That means you can't use non-attribute magic unless you have the sense to use it, right?
　Your brother?　Have you talked to your brother Ivan or Alex?
　Well, maybe Brother Ivan taught the teacher.
　I don't think brother Alex would say anything about a feeling.

　Sir, you shouldn't have asked your brother Ivan.

''Well ...... there's a good reason ...... I won't go into detail because it's long, but anyone can use non-attribute magic as long as they can use magic control.
　Brother Ivan must be manipulating magic by feel as well.

''Is that so?　So it was: ......
　The teacher said that and was thinking about something.

'Hey, I'm sorry, can you tell me how to do that ......?　No, tell me about it.
　I stopped to think about it, and then the teacher suddenly bowed his head.

"What?

Please!　If I can teach non-attribute magic, even a child like Hermann-kun who doesn't have attributes can use magic. So please teach me!
　The doctor begged desperately, keeping his head down.
　And when they heard that, their classmates who were participating in the magic practice stopped practicing and looked at us .......

　Teacher ...... I think that's a great idea, but shouldn't it be ...... here?
　They're gonna think I'm making you apologize to the teacher.

Put your head up. All right. Let me show you.
　Partly because it was hard to say no, but partly because I was so impressed with your ideas that I decided to teach.
　From now on, there is no reason for me to refuse to help a teacher who wants to reduce the number of people who are discriminated against based on their attributes, like I was.
　I'll be happy to teach you.

Really?　Thank you, Leo-kun!
　I think she was really happy or maybe she was so happy that she hugged me.
　I'm happy to be hugged by a beautiful woman, but I'm embarrassed in front of ...... everyone and the way Shelly and Leena look at me is painful.

We're still in class.

Oh, no. So let's just say we'll pick up where we left off after school, okay?

Yes, ...... I get it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt the class. Now I'll teach you a lesson and you can resume your practice.
　Apologizing to everyone, the teacher happily walked over to them.
　As if to trade places with the teacher, Sherry and Leena came towards me.

"Hey, Leo.
　She's smiling, but she's not smiling in my eyes, and Shelly's talking to me.

"What?

''Can me and Leena join our teacher in teaching unattributed magic?''

'What?　You two are already ......
　I couldn't tell you where to go from there: .......
　Because I let the silent pressure of the two of them get the better of me .
　They're both expressionless and their eyes are terribly scary: .......

''Yes, of course you can join us, too. I'll get back to you with a reminder when we decide when we're going to do it.
　I just didn't have the heart to say anything else in here.

Yeah, I know.

Thank you. It would be great to meet you.

Ummm, yeah, .......
　What am I supposed to teach them?
　I couldn't very well say that to the two of them now: .......
